The final day of the test series has lot of importance for many reasons. Apart from the result, all eyes are on Kohli. What will he achieve!! If he scores 123 runs or above it will not only take his team very close to win but also get him another record as he can snatch the record Smith made today. Aussies have already taken a massive lead, but do Indians have an option but to bat for winning the match!!

For the test result, Australia would certainly love 2-0 better than 2-1 and they will ensure that by killing some time through batting and raising the bar further up, may be 400 runs for India to chase.
India on the other hand have nothing to lose. If Aussies can score at a run rate of 6, Indians may try the same now on the last day. They would definitely want to win whatever be the target as Kohli would not be happy by just going for a draw, which they can achieve easily on a dead pitch.
Murali Vijay knows his place in Test is cemented. It is a good chance for him to show how wrong selectors were in not selecting him for World Cup squad by playing a blinder ODI innings. That helps the team cause, as well as his personal cause too.
Rohit Sharma, Kohli, Rahane and Raina are known to be attacking players. Considering their strength and also the desire to register at least one win, India will certainly go for any chase, however tall it can be.
